I believe you are referring to the same person who is my great grandfather. For your information, the Fisherman's Memorial in Steveston lists the vessel and crew of the Onward Ho, which was lost in 1916, where Hedley was acting as the first mate.
Let me know if you'd would like any other information.

Regards
Mark

Surnames: Hedley Bendickson
Thank you for this connection, Mark! And for the original query, Brenda! I have been searching high and low for any 1916 crew members of the Onward Ho, as my great grandfather Jens Bendickson was the one who served Hedley and the others their last supper before the ship disappeared.
I would love to hear more about Hedley's career at sea and possibly get hold of a high resolution photo of him. I noticed one photo here at ancestry.com, so that was a pleasant find.

Kristin, Oslo, Norway

I am glad that the information was useful.
When I saw the list of Norwegians on the crew list, I thought how sad that was; the loss must have been very hard on your great grandmother and family.
I do not have a high resolution image of Headley.
If you have not already found this information, I have listed a few links that you might find useful:

Thank you!

I am about to collect Onward Ho relevant information on a blog site, just in time for the 100 year day for the loss.

Identified crew member names and details/photos can be found here:

Please leave a comment on the crew list page if you have information or theories about the still unidentified persons.
